Buenos Aires, July. 16 (ANDINA). The musician Gustavo Cerati who has been two months in a coma today after suffering a stroke after a concert in Caracas, and so far remains hospitalized in Buenos Aires with no signs of improvement.

A month ago the hospital where he was admitted to (the former leader of Soda Stereo) issued the latest statement in which he informed that he remained in a coma, with stable vital signs, under intensive care. The situation has not changed.

Gustavo Cerati, who led Soda Stereo, one of the most successful Spanish rock bands of all time, suffered the stroke on May 16 and from June 7 is at Fleni Institute, in the neighborhood of Belgrano.

The last official medical report held on 15 June that “the patient remains unconscious and with the support of respiratory mechanical assistance.”

Fleni staff who said they will provide new medical reports when significant changes in the status of the artist.

In English ( it hasn’t translated very well but you get the jist of it)

Lilian Clark profile:
Gustavo Cerati’s mother

She is the person who has spent time with Gustavo Cerati. I gave birth, he grew up, attended his birth as an artist, and now-so-unthinkable is at your side in the dark hours. But little is known about his life. This is the portrait of Lilian Clark, a woman enters a terrible time.

By Josefina Licitra. Research assistance: Jessica De Santo.

This woman is another.

That’s what the residents of Villa Ortuzar, north of the city of Buenos Aires, the place where the mother Lilian Clark, Gustavo Cerati, spent the last four decades of his life. Villa Ortúzar, Lilian lived with her husband, raised three children, was widowed and built a placid neighborhood life: he walked the streets with a shopping bag, did gymnastics in the park and took her grandson Gustavo Benito-on the carousel

Lilian had, in short, an affable presence.

But now this woman is another.

First, because mid-morning party for Fleni-Institute where Gustavo Cerati has been since June 7th , and goes to that neighborhood until the next day. And, secondly, because the stroke (CVA) Cerati suffered marked the end and the beginning of many things, in many ways, for many people. Cerati was arrested in a rare and endless quiet. And Lilian Clark, the longest serving woman at his side, became a wounded bird.

“A few days ago I was found on the sidewalk. Lilian looked at me in silence. Then she hugged me and began to mourn, “recalls Daniel Aguinaga, who owns a hardware store and neighboring Villa near Lilian Ortúzar for twenty years.

The problem is well-known, it began in Caracas on 18 May. During a tour to promote the album Natural Force, Gustavo Cerati suffered a stroke that left him in the words of the doctors, “unconscious” with “irreversible brain damage” and a future full of bad signals.

In those days, Lilian, operated just sight-traveled to Venezuela and from there was some telephone interviews. Her voice was full and confident: a mother Lilian was convinced that the child was once hers, who had noodles for his lunch meal, who was drawing comics, playing guitar with a broom handle, save the man who belonged to everyone.

“I was always green, my kids ate very healthy in my house, and I hope that this young body that never gave problems has reserves to cope with this difficult situation. I was told that there are prayer chains up in the Himalayas.

My son is a great artist, I always knew. But now I realize that he has touched the hearts of the people, she told the Todo Noticias Argentina. And then shelled and bitter love that paragraph that occupied the pages of newspapers:

“Come, dear, mommy is waiting. As if you were that little boy so cute blonde and dared to say that you were going to play big. I know that boy will come back.

Tea for three

Villa Ortúzar is a neighborhood of trees and tender sprouted foliage, which successfully developed in isolation from any discourse of insecurity. Here there is often no robberies or major fears: the pulse of the street is quiet. In the kindness and with her sisters grew Cerati. Not all the neighbours talk – “respect”, they say, but those who do insist on the same issues: the normality of the family, on one side. The way in which the incident left its mark on the other.

“Lilian has always been humble and kind, accompanied Gustavito everywhere. But since he suffered the misfortune, I only saw her once again and I felt very sad. She is not much out of her house “says Carlos, the newsagent.

“It was unusual to see Lilian hugging Gustavo on the sidewalk. The last time I saw her she told me he was better. But she is no longer the same woman said Roberto, one of the chefs at La Mezzetta, a local pizza place where you can only eat standing up and the family used to go (Laura sister of Gustavo, even giving away tickets the shows to the pizza).

“Lilian is a very strong woman and flirtatious,” says the ironmonger Daniel Aguinaga. We talked a lot about Gustavo, how he composed his songs. But she always spoke of the person, not a rock star.

Because he is a person, not a superhero, Lilian always saw to it that her son had the best possible health. In adulthood, she asked to leave the two packs a day cigarettes, with the heaviness of a horsefly, and without much luck. And as a child, fed him based on healthy and organic products: a fairly tied to the trends of the time, taking into account that Cerati was a child in Florida and the powerful 60s.
At that time, many years ago, Lillian was writing stories and poems as a hobby “, and raise her children, by choice.

She was not alone. Her husband was still alive, Juan José Cerati: an accountant and engineer who bought Gustavo his first Spanish guitar at nine years old and supported the idea of early vocations accompanying his three children.
But in 1992, when the call was a fact and expanded to Latin America, Juan José Cerati died. And left behind many things. Among them, a woman with blue eyes and a sad story that Gustavo masterfully succeeded in translating the language of art.

The day Cerati’s father learned that his cancer had no return, he was wealthy, and had Gustavo & Lilian around a table with tea.

“My husband was very ill, but he wanted to know everything and we complied with it,” Lilian told years ago in an interview with a radius of Delhi, within the province of Buenos Aires. The day we were testing drinking tea: as good Irish heiress, never missed home. We had on hand the last result to score what was the state of the disease. And the fact that the reviews were very negative. Then my husband wanted to see. He was a man with great self-control. Quiet. And we were all three.

The three: mother, father, son.

“And I could not stand. “I saw you cried / I saw you cry about it.” That theme, “tea for three” was born that way. In this house.

Lilian’s house is a simple construction with a stone facade and a small garden at the rear. There, somehow, despite everything, “Lilian is never alone. She is accompanied by her youngest daughter, Laura, who is by her shoulder in contact with the press since last May.

And also visit Cerati fans, which in some cases even invited to go and have tea. The relationship with the fans, yes, it is not always so kind. One indicator of this is the black bars covering the door. Years ago, a crazed fan decided it was time to enter, he gained momentum and took the door down.

For this kind of thing, Lilian relationship with the followers of Cerati is polite but sinuous. Javier Vazquez, Peruvian journalist and fan, he knew 13 years ago, when he traveled to Buenos Aires to attend a show of Soda Stereo and decided to start the adventure going to hit the house of the mother of his idol.

– Yesssss? Lilian replied to the other side of the communicator.

“Hi, sorry to bother you, do you find Gustavo?

“No, do not live here any Gustavo!

Javier had quick reflexes:

“No court, is that I come from Peru and I was told I could locate him here …

– In Peru? Mmm … a minute.

Seconds later, Javier was facing a blonde, blue eyes like wells, with short body and wrapped in an apron. That is, a neighborhood lady lunch.

“What I liked was that to look like a normal housewife,” recalls Javier. But it was Lilian Clark. When I saw her, I thought: “I knew that God had Mom.”

The mother of God, that day, thirteen years ago, with the apron and hair because without any makeup, Javier received at the hands of a poster to autograph. Both were talking ten minutes and from then Alice described with one word: “angelic.”

“And ma’am,” the fans are insistent, “how will I know if Gustavo and signed my poster?

“Do not worry, call me on the phone and tell you whether he did or not,” said Lilian.

And then he said his name and phone number. Finally, before leaving gave him a secret:

Then the show will have a private party the side of the stage-whispered. If you can, go.

Since then, Javier is convinced that Clark was Lilian know better than to Gustavo Cerati.

No longer

After the accident of her child, Lilian speak to reporters only by phone and the days before his trip to Venezuela. In those talks, his voice calm and feels whole. As if the problem was other-something lighter, and there was a possible remedy.

All told Channel News:

“The true concern we had years ago when it happened that venous thrombosis. Unfortunately, Gustavo, even though he quit smoking a while, then took the butt again. He has 50 years, Gustavo. This will be either serious signal that you should leave the butt.

America told Channel News:

“My heart is quiet. I think he will get through this. I do not mind the consequences, because we will help him combat them. I am a mother full time. They ate very healthy in my house. And I hope that this body that never gave problems Young has reservations as to address this situation so difficult. He’s a strong kid. I have touched the brain, which is as hard as he has. In addition to his sweetheart.

He said the signal Telefé:

“Besides the cigarette, was the excessive stress. Gustavo was a very self-demanding, made a very big tour, from too much exposure.

He told CNN:

“I always supported him being a musician, but there are times when I wish he was an ordinary clerk. Although they also have peaks of stress, right? Better than an artist, that’s what I wanted to be. I have great faith in Gustavo.

So far, Lilian did not cry in public for her son. At most stopped buying the papers (before she did every day, cut out the news-good-to name Cerati) and sought the intimate embrace of her family and neighbourhood. But in the face of the media was always full. Positive. Releasing the words as if they were driven by a favourable wind.

From these statements, however, passed away two months and no progress on the clinical status of Gustavo Cerati.

It is now July. Now a faint voice, modulated, soft, attends “El Mercurio”, said by telephone:

I’ve tried to translate it a little as the translation I use isn’t very good sometimes, apologies if it’s not quite right

In English

Thank you.

I’ve tweaked the translation in English as it didn’t read particularly well.

Richard Coleman

Gustavo Cerati name combined with the fateful night in Caracas, Richard Coleman’s face changes. He does not understand how after what he considered “the best concert of the tour Natural Force” how his friend entered this ordeal.

How to remember the night Gustavo suffered the stroke, in Venezuela?
We had a great show. Then we went to dressing rooms, we moved around, we had dinner and received visits. Everything in the course of an hour and a half. As was the last show of this leg of the tour, we took a picture with the team. Gustavo’s face was tired.

Then he returned to the dressing room and was left alone. After a while, he had an ischemia. He lost control of his hand and arm, and was helped by someone in the team.

Were you aware of what was happening? In the corridors, I found a very rare mood. (Adrian) Taverna looked at me with a face that said something bad had happened. Paramedics arrived and they checked his blood pressure … The stretcher took him conscious, and we crossed glances with him.

What was your first reaction?
Of distress … we all went to the clinic. I stayed with (Fernando) Nale and Gonzalo (Córdoba) waiting for news. We felt helpless.

“To Imagine that something could happen? No, no way. It was very unexpected.

What he saw was that Gus was not careful enough, but never had we expected something. I noticed that he did not rest enough. I thought that this was triggered by a stressful situation.

Did you not feel a state of vulnerability? I did not feel vulnerable, but then I think more of universal good: “We are nothing! That’s how fragile we are! “What happened to Gustavo could have been passed on to anyone. It is a misfortune.

The clinical situation is still fragile, and the pattern of brain damage, will have significant consequences. Are you ready to meet a different Gustavo? Nobody is prepared for these things. The love we have is huge.
Therefore, we know how to be close, because there is a love that transcends all barriers. But yes it will be hard.

Buenos Aires, July 29 (EFE) .- The Argentinian musician Gustavo Cerati, who in mid-May suffered a serious brain injury, is breathing on his own “with minimal mechanical assistance, today announced his niece, Guadalupe Mujica.

Hi everyone
I don’t post medical updates unless it’s newsworthy and from family or at the medical centre
I am glad my Spanish still sucks as all the rumours that have been circulating about Gus, it’s just silly

Gus is ill, his condition takes a long time to heal, it will be SLOW!!
Patience… just chill out people

Gustavo will come out ahead no doubt that he has always shown strength and courage for what one must hope that he will be soon back with us safe and he is happy for the thousands of signs of affection from people whom he probably did not know who loved him so much.

On Saturday, Gustavo was transferred to the Los Arcos clinic to provide more complex care. His condition is stable and remains in intensive care. It is not yet determined when he will go back to Alcla

Lilian Clark, Gustavo Cerati’s mother, confirmed the singer had pneumonia. “My son was a process of having pneumonia. He was very good. In Los Arcos they have made proper medication techniques. Until last night he was stabilized within the appropriate parameters. Right now everything is fine, ” she said.
“After 9 months of the stroke his body was attacked too. We have the science at its highest level. If God wants and we will remove blank below. Gustavo is very strong. Doctors are cautious. Physically he is solid-looking” , she said.
“Gustavo is a lion and is fighting strong. It is moving the force received from the people. The last album was premeditary because he speaks of the Universe. I have faith that Gustavo’s out, ” she said.
